When objtool discovers an issue, it's very common for it to flood the
terminal with a lot of duplicate warnings.  For example:

  warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
  warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2f3: frame pointer state mismatch
  warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2ff: frame pointer state mismatch
  warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x30b: frame pointer state mismatch
  ...

The first warning is usually all you need.  Change it to only warn once
per function.
